Depreciation Insights
Understanding the Chevrolet Corvette depreciation curve is key to making a smart purchase. Here’s a realistic look at how the 2009 model typically holds value:
- In its first year, the Corvette is likely to depreciate 15‑20% from its original invoice price—this reflects the high demand for limited‑edition models that began production in 2009.
- From Year 2 to Year 5, expect a steady decline of 8‑12% per year. Driving forces include shrinking supply—especially for higher mileage cars—as well as the broader market’s perception that newer model years offer better performance and features.
- Between Years 6 and 10, the annual depreciation rate generally lowers to around 5‑8%, indicating that the vehicle is gathering “classic” status for certain fans.
- After Year 10, the depreciation curve flattens sharply. These cars can become collector’s items, with value tied more to provenance (e.g., original paint, limited editions) than to mileage or condition.
In short, while early depreciation is unavoidable, the 2009 Corvette’s resilience in the used market protects a large portion of its original value, especially when maintained well and kept within a reasonable mileage bracket.
